BSBL, Communications minister, MTNL

it is reported  in the media that Ravi Shankar Prasad, Minister of Communications & IT  may announce some financial assistance to BSNL and MTNL on 25th December 2014,  the birth anniversary of former Prime Minister, Atal Bihari Vajpayee.

Let it be X-Mas or Bajpayee’s Birth Day, the announcement is welcome, but it should benefit BSNL and MTNL.

Communications minister, Reliance Jio

The following report in the Financial Express indicates how even the Communication Minister himself is favouring the private telecom companies. Whether it was Dayanidhi Maran, A.Raja or now Ravi Shankar Prasad, all are there to support the private telecom companies. granting undue favours. BSNL is the orphan. Even the Minister of Communications does not take any action to revive it, except declaring that “I will not allow BSNL and MTNL to die”. See the fraction of the report in the Financial Express below:

“Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) today demanded dismissal of Telecom Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad alleging a conflict of interest that has prevented him from issuing a notice to Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Jio on 4G issue, a charge vehemently denied by Prasad saying he never gave advice or appeared for the company.

AAP leader and advocate Prashant Bhushan also alleged that Manish Tewari, who was a Union Minister in the previous UPA government, had a retainership contract with Reliance Industries.”  (Report from Financial Express)

Communications Minister must meet the Unions

Communications minister, Forum, Meeting

Immediately after the General Elections and formation of the new government at centre, Forum of BSNL Unions/Associations has sent a letter congratulating the new Communications Minister, Shri Ravi Shankar Prasad, on 26th May 2014 along with a request for a meeting to discuss about the most important issues on the Revival of BSNL along with one or two staff issues. It is almost one and half months since the letter was given.

We know that the Minister will be very busy with three important portfolios like Communications, IT and Law. We understand that the Parliament was is session in between and now also the Parliament is in session. It is very difficult for a Central Minister to find time.

But in between he had met the private telecom companies, met the BSNL Management a few times and also many stake holders. We feel that the 2.5 lakh employees are also important stakeholders of the BSNL and their unions also should be taken in to confidence and they should be given opportunity to meet the Minister. This is only but just and fair.

When the office of the Minister was contacted in person twice, it was stated that the Minister has got the Forum Memorandum and the minister will meet. But so far it has not been arranged.

We feel the Minister should meet the Forum leaders at the earliest, finding some time between his busy schedule.

Communications minister

Shri Ravi Shankar Prasad has taken over as the new Communications Minister. He is a Senior Advocate in Supreme Court and is a spokesman of BJP. He is an M.P.in Rajya Sabha since 2000 and has been a Cabinet Minister in the Vajpayee Government. He is spoken of as a very capable administrator.

We Heartily Congratulate him in his new assignment and welcome him to the Communications and Telecom Family. We hope that he will help in improving and strengthening the BSNL and its services.
